BV and PID

Patient

Q:I have bv and have had it for about 4 months. I can't get rid of it I've tried antibiotics twice and didn't get any relief. I'm now experiencing lower back pain and lower abdominal pain. I'm really worried about getting PID. Is this likely? I know most PID comes from STDS but I am still worried.

Symptoms: Lower back and abdominal pain swelling in lower right abdomen.
